I'm working on some new material at the moment - two songs with fellow writer Matt B. One, 'Fly With Me', is a dancey euro-pop tune in the vein of Kylie's "Spinning Around" or maybe an Empire of the Sun song (have you heard them? They are really good).
The other, which Matt wrote the bulk of, I'm quite excited about as it's our first foray into the huge market of 'tween' pop/rock along the lines of Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers etc. It's called 'With You' and Matt's daughter Jas is proving herself a very useful and worthy guide vocal singer.
People are signing up for the free downloads I'm offering but there's plenty of space for more names on my mailing list - so if you're reading about me for the first time why not click here to go to my website and sign up - no catches, nothing to lose, but four free new songs to gain. Go on.....!
Tomorrow I'm performing with some really talented students at the school I teach at, and I'm really looking forward to it. Happy days :-)
Enjoy your Sundays folks.

Hi Simon,
ReplyDeleteI just listened to 'Mary Lou'.
I liked it very much.Having listened to the charts recently I have had a pleasant discovery - Most of the good new bands seem to be travelling back to 'Beatleland'. this can only augur well for writers like ourselves.
The song seemed like it had a Rupert Holmes vibe about it (the guy who wrote 'the Pena Colada Song' - he went on to greater things even after that worldwide hit - and hopefully you will if you keep your course mate!
Coincidentally, I have been listening to Billy Joel's 'Piano Man' a lot in the car recently and kept thinking 'Simon Rushby could do this stuff well'.
Good songs will always have longevity so keep writing them Simon!
Jules
Couldn't agree more Jules! Thanks for your positive comments about Mary Lou. I think you know Billy Joel is the main man for me - I aspire to write as well as he has done.
